Chapter 17



Jessica's POV:


Sofia was sleeping so I decided to pay one of the Lynch's a 'special' visit.


I knocked on the door and just the Lynch I was looking for widely opened it. "Jessie, what are you doing here?"


"Jessica's here?" I heard Riker call from upstairs. 


"I'm here to speak to you Ross." I tell him. "Hard lucks Riker but she's here for me not you." Ross yelled back, closing the door behind him.


"What's up?" 


"Stay away from Sofia."


"What?"


"Stay away from her, don't go anywhere near her, stay away." 


"Is this suppose to be some kind of threat?" Ross looked at me in shock.


"Take it how you want it as long you stay away from Sofia we shall be on good terms." I repeat.


"You can't be serious, why do you want me to stay away from her?" he asked.


"I'm dead serious and the reason doesn't matter." I spat, looking to walk away. "Wait." he said.


"What?" I turned to face him. "Did-did Sofia ask you to tell me to stay away from her?" he questioned, hurt flashing across his face.


This is sad but perfect, if he thinks Sofia asked then he'll definitely stay away.


That's not what Sofia wants.


Shut up conscience what do you know.


"Yeah, she did."


Now you did it.


Shut up!


"Oh." was all he said. "If that what Sofia wants, then I have to respect her wishes, no matter how painful." he gulped.


"I'm sorry Ross." I let the pity I felt for him escape.


"Does she completely not want me to talk to her, like not even tell her 'hi'?" he asked. "Does she want me to ignore her like if she never existed." he began to tear up.


"You're really good at doing that anyway." I muttered.


"That's not fair Jessie. I'm trying my best but you refuse to listen to me or give me a chance then you come and kiss me when I'm with Sofia what the hell is up with you!" he yelled.


"You don't get to make me guilty Ross. That's not how it goes. This is your fault. Your fault our friendship failed and isn't succeeding in returning, your fault that Sofia doesn't love you." I snap.


"To hell with you Jess." he went inside and slammed the door.


I sighed and walked inside to meet Sofia standing by the couch. "Hey Sof, you got up fast." I smiled. I hope she didn't hear or see what happened between Ross and I.


"Yeah, yelling woke me up." she said in a monotone.


Oh, you're in trouble now.


I took a breath, "Sof-" 


"How could you." she stared at me, tears in her eyes. "Lie to him and tell him I said those things, he's never gonna talk to me again." 


"I did it for your own good Sof." I defended myself.


"You did it for your own good, not mine." she said lowly, walking upstairs and her door slamming was soon heard.


I ran upstairs and opened her door, knowing she was too lazy to lock it.


"Get out." she said, staring out the window. "Sof, he hurt you and you wanted to go back with him. That's utterly crazy, how could you still love him after what he did to you?" 


"You're one to talk after you kissed him when we weren't speaking." she said.


"That's different." 


"What's so different? You like him. Just admit that you did it because you like him and you don't want me to be with him." she cried.


"I don't care about him." 


"It doesn't matter anyway. We're not gonna fight over this. Can you just go please, I need some rest." she told me.


"Yeah okay." I left, closing the door behind me.


I'm glad she said we're not gonna fight about this. I guess she's too tired to even bother with the fight.


I opened the door after a knock was heard. 


"Hey, so my brother was crying and I came to find out why." Riker said, walking inside.


"I told him, well Sofia told him to stay away from her." I said. "But weren't you at the door talking to him.


"I just delivered the message." I told him. 


"Umm, okay. I guess. It's just he's in  lot of pain and it's really uncomfortable and sad." he said.


"Yeah." I looked to the floor. "So, totally off topic but do you wanna catch a movie sometime?" he asked.


I smiled, "Sure, when is sometime?" 


"Is tomorrow good for you?" 


"Yeah, it's good, great actually. I guess I'll see you tomorrow." I said. 


"Seven? I could pick you up at seven?" he questioned. I nodded, he seems so nervous. "Yeah, see you at seven." I smiled. 


"Okay, well bye Jess." he left.


Things are looking up I guess. But what could I do right now. 


~2 hours later~


"Haha, oh Carlton." I laughed at my laptop screen. I had an empty box of pizza sitting on my table, an empty ice cream container on the floor and right now, I'm munching on popcorn while binge watching Fresh Prince of Bel Air on Netflix.


It's not right I know, but this is my life right now. Instead of studying or doing something worth while, I'm binge watching a show on Netflix.


Not just any show..FRESH PRINCE OF BEL AIR! 


My conscience is one heck of a crazy person.


Only because I live in you.


Touche conscience, touche.
